But this guy who was tearing people apart half an hour ago is now crying and begging to be friends with him.
The gale said, "Wind!"
(Friend, come with me, the giants need you.)
Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated: "I can't leave yet. I need to stay here and wait for a better opportunity to destroy the Roosevelt Kingdom. Only when the Roosevelt Kingdom is destroyed can you live peacefully on this continent."
The strong man quickly nodded and said, "Wind!"
(I'll do as you say, but I need to hurry back to the royal court to report your arrival to the king and the prophet; they'll be very happy.)
"How can I contact you?" Qingchen asked.
"wind!"
(I will leave people behind to await your summons. The little monkeys are darting through the treetops, keeping a close watch on you. You can leave marks on the trees. A bird-shaped mark means there is danger and you need our help to escape; a snake-shaped mark means...)
In an instant, the gale delivered all the symbols agreed upon by the giants and the rebels to Qing Chen. Surprisingly, these symbols were quite comprehensive and complex.
"wind!"
(By the way, before we leave, do we need your help to kill 'He'?)
Qingchen quickly said, "No need, no need, I still have a use for him. You should leave now and go home with your people. Remember, you can only tell the king and the prophet about me."
Kuangfeng turned and ran deeper into the Forbidden Forest to catch up with his companions.
As Qing Chen watched his retreating figure, he suddenly felt that the giant prophet was indeed a bit too amazing.
He had been wondering how the giants could survive under such oppressive conditions, given that the Roosevelt royal family possessed a bug-like lineage of virtuosos who could foresee the future and suppress the four dukes.
The result was magic against magic, the ability to foresee the future against the ability to foresee the future!
No wonder the giants were able to rise to power!
He walked silently toward the camp. When the Marquis of Bolton saw him return, he asked curiously, "Why did you come back alone?"
Qing Chen said, "I'm only a C-level, and I can't keep up with those gene warrior experts and giants, so I had to come back alone first. It's a pity that I can't get such a great merit."
Marquis Bolton comforted him, "If it weren't for you and He leading everyone to resist the giants tonight, the Third Division would be wiped out. This achievement alone is enough for you to be promoted to baron. Rest assured, I will remember everything you've done; you are like the midnight sun..."
Qing Chen listened to the long string of cheesy words and thought to himself, "Why are you using the same tricks you used on the Fifth Princess on me?!"
He looked around and saw soldiers piling up the bodies of their fallen comrades, while others were repairing communications equipment and trying to make contact with the rear.
The place was a complete mess.
He Jinqiu sat by the campfire, lost in thought.
Qing Chen sat down next to him, and He Jinqiu calmly asked, "Did you succeed? Did you gain their trust?"
“Yes,” Qingchen nodded.
Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight, He Jinqiu has completely lost his friendship with the giants, and they can no longer trust him.
However, the Giant Dynasty was very important, so Qing Chen made a temporary plan: He Jinqiu would be the villain, while he himself would become the new liaison.
This was something we had already discussed and agreed upon.
In the plan, He Jinqiu was responsible for saving the Third Division and putting the giants in a predicament.
Qing Chen led his men in pursuit, but at the last moment of the chase, he intervened again to save the giant.
They gained Bolton's trust on one hand, and the giants' trust on the other, profiting from both sides.
He Jinqiu glanced at Qing Chen: "Giants find it hard to trust humans, especially after being deceived by them. How do you plan to convince them to believe you?"
Qing Chen smiled. He didn't mention the prophet's prediction, but instead used another reason: "I killed all thirty-odd B-level experts who followed me out to fight as a pledge of loyalty. Isn't that enough?"
From now on, the liaison responsible for contacting the giants will no longer be He Jinqiu, but Qing Chen.
Moreover, the friendship that Qing Chen suddenly established with the giants was more reliable than He Jinqiu had imagined.
“Mr. He,” Qingchen asked, “when did your cancer start?”
He Jinqiu thought for a moment and said, "It started before we came to the Inner World."
"Wait, didn't you come here more than ten years ago?" Qing Chen asked. "The cancer has been there for more than ten years?"
He Jinqiu's eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "I was initially in the same unit as Boss Zheng, he was my squad leader. Later, we were both selected and joined the reconnaissance brigade together."
The so-called reconnaissance brigade is actually a special forces unit. This selection process is similar to the one Xu Sanduo participated in in the TV series "Soldiers' Assault," where it's entirely based on merit.
He Jinqiu continued, "Later, because of my outstanding performance, I represented the country in the UN peacekeeping force and went to the Middle East. This peacekeeping force has people of all races, and Chinese compatriots only account for one-tenth of them."
Qing Chen thought to himself, no wonder Kyushu's overseas activities are mainly concentrated in the Middle East, it turns out that He Jinqiu lived there before.
“During a peacekeeping mission, we received intelligence that international arms dealers, under the cover of the CIA, were smuggling the nuclear material 'plutonium-239'. The peacekeeping force deployed a total of 12 personnel, who were airdropped 79 kilometers west of Kandahar to intercept the arms dealers' convoy.”
"The plan started smoothly. We intercepted the vehicle transporting nuclear materials and killed a total of 17 well-trained criminals," He Jinqiu said with a smile. "Another Chinese comrade and I opened the cargo box of the transport vehicle and went inside to check whether the nuclear materials were intact. But as soon as another teammate and I went in, the cargo box door was locked from the outside."
"Then, gunshots rang out... There was a mole in the unit. After intercepting the truck, they didn't intend to hand over the nuclear materials for disposal. Instead, they secretly contacted a Russian oligarch and planned to sell them at a high price. At that time, I never imagined that people could be so treacherous. The camaraderie I felt was like that between me and my old sergeant, where we were loyal to each other. I never thought that someone would stab me in the back."
Qing Chen frowned: "And then?"
"Later, my comrade and I, who were also trapped in the cargo box, discovered that the 'plutonium-239' inside the truck had not been properly sealed and was already leaking. When the gunfire stopped, those people didn't come to kill us; instead, they drove the truck away with us."
“The transport truck wobbled along for a whole day, and we spent that day with the leaked plutonium-239. We started having nosebleeds, our internal organs started hurting, and we had difficulty breathing. After a day, the truck stopped, and I thought those people were going to open the cargo box and kill us, but the door opened, and they pulled us out of the truck when we were completely incapacitated.”
“It was then that I realized that the mole within the peacekeeping force not only wanted to sell ‘Plutonium-239,’ but also wanted to betray us two peacekeepers from China. They wanted us to film a video in which we claimed to have betrayed our country, and then turn us into spies. That way, once we returned home, we would be completely under their command.”
“But we did not give in. They imprisoned us in a dungeon for a full month. My teammate started to develop oral cancer, and I also noticed discomfort in my lungs. We all developed cancer after being exposed to nuclear contamination.”
"We stayed in that dark and hopeless place for a long time. Those people kept tormenting us and trying to drive us apart. We began to doubt our faith, to doubt each other, and to despair of the world."
“Those people started making fun of us, promising that if we killed each other, the survivors could leave the dungeon. One night, I saw a former teammate come to me, grab my neck, and apologize. He said his mother still needed his support. I stopped struggling and lay there waiting to die. At that moment, the dungeon door reopened, and a young man with long hair stood in the doorway, asking if I wanted to go to another world with him and fight for a chance to live. I said yes. He killed my teammate.”
He Jinqiu said with a smile, "After going to the Inner World, I didn't come back for more than ten years. When I was able to come back, the first thing I did was visit the mother of that comrade in prison. I thought that his mother had no one to rely on and must be living a very difficult life. But after investigating, I found out that what he said when he killed me was also a lie. He lost both his parents when he was young and was raised by his aunt. He just hoped that I would not resist."
Mr. He spoke of it casually, but only those who experienced it know how cruel that period was.
Qing Chen understood that Yan Liuyuan had ultimately rescued He Jinqiu and brought her to the inner world.
After arriving in the Otherworld, Mr. He temporarily suppressed his illness with the help of its medical technology.
At the same time, this incident completely changed He Jinqiu's personality.
Having experienced betrayal and death, this Boss He was no longer willing to trust anyone, not even his old squad leader Zheng Yuandong.
Even when talking to Zheng Yuandong, you need the correct amount of gold coins to determine if he is lying.
"How is the condition now?" Qingchen asked.
He Jinqiu laughed and said, "The medicines in the inner world are not omnipotent either. Now that my cancer has spread throughout my body, I have to think of other ways."
Qing Chen was silent for a moment: "Boss He, I will definitely help you get the cancer treatment medicine."
He Jinqiu slowly leaned against the big tree behind her, covering her face with her fisherman's hat: "Thank you."
Chapter 858, Friends in the Great Prophecy
Once the communication equipment was repaired, the first person to contact the Third Division was the Fifth Princess.
She spent some time cuddling with the Marquis of Bolton, and only after confirming that her husband was alright did she ask Bolton to give the phone to Qingchen and to send He Jinqiu away.
The Fifth Princess calmly asked Qing Chen on the phone, "Have you noticed anything unusual about He? Has he ever left your sight? Do you think he attracted the giants?"
Qingchen complained, "Fifth Princess, you've spoken my mind. I also suspect He is the mole."
The Fifth Princess's voice hardened: "Why?"
Qing Chen said, "After we got off the airship, he became less obedient and started to disobey me under the guise of compliance. Moreover, he previously claimed to be just an A-level gene warrior, but when he fought against the giants, I realized he was actually a cultivator!"
"Any other clues? Are there any?"
"there is none left."
The Fifth Princess fell silent. After a few seconds of thought, she said, "Alright, go find Marquis Bolton."
Soon, the Fifth Princess had Bolton send Qing Chen away and called He Jinqiu to answer the phone: "Do you think the butler might have connections with the giants?"
He Jinqiu said softly, "I think the steward is a mole within the resistance army's Third Division."
Fifth Princess: "Why?"
He Jinqiu continued, "After arriving at the Third Division, Marquis Bolton was playing Superconducting World in the tracked vehicle. He didn't try to persuade the Marquis, but instead took over all command as a matter of course. After the Third Division entered the Forbidden Forest, he issued at least three hundred orders, but he never asked the Marquis for his consent. In addition, I suspect he is a member of the resistance, but I haven't found any evidence that he is in contact with the resistance. Your Highness, please believe me, I will find him."
The Fifth Princess remained silent for a long time before hanging up the phone.
What these two people said was completely worthless!
At this moment, the Fifth Princess thought of Duke Storm's order again... Marquis Doug had been executed, and Duke Storm had lost a general who had followed him for many years.
This time, Bolton was ordered by Duke Storm to set off immediately, but that very night they were attacked by giants, which made the Fifth Princess think deeply.
Could it be that Duke Storm has made contact with the Giants Dynasty?
The Fifth Princess opened the holographic map and zoomed in, wanting to see the correlation between all the events.
She suddenly realized that the location of Outpost 9 was very special. Once the giants opened this outpost, they could immediately advance unimpeded into the heart of the Roosevelt Kingdom and even reach the central capital.
Why is the Duke of Storms so determined to control this outpost? Is there some other reason behind it?
Thinking of this, the Fifth Princess immediately opened the encrypted channel and made a call to the Central Royal City.
Ten minutes later, the Fifth Princess ordered the airship to return to the central royal city!
Soon, the new appointment and dismissal order for the commander of Outpost 9 was issued. This time, the commander was not a direct subordinate of Duke Storm, but rather a marquis under Duke Blackwater.
Duke Storm looked at the decree of appointment in the sky fortress and fell into deep thought.
...
...
While the Third Division was resting in place, Qing Chen finally had time to enter the superconducting world.
He finally met Bolton in the superconducting world.
This was the first time Bolton had ever met 'White Light'. Accompanied by his family, he came to Qing Chen and was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
“Parents!” Bolton exclaimed excitedly.
Qing Chen said with a smile, "I saw the news. It seems you are still fighting on the front lines and have just made many contributions, especially the giants you just defeated in the Forbidden Forest."
